THEY'RE COMING TO GET YOU BARBARA...
About Me

Me 2 years ago!

I first saw Dawn of the Dead on BBC2 in February 2000. It was part of the horror season and followed Night of the Living Dead, shown the week before. At the time Night and Lucio Fulci's 'Zombie' were the only two zombie movies I had ever seen.
I waited in my lounge until 1:30am for the screening Dawn, bringing in my bed cover and a continuous supply of coffee in the process.
At first I was quite disappointed with the movie. Having visited numerous sites that day trying to find out info on it, I was expecting a total bloodbath. However, the gore was yet again cut (as it was in ('Zombie') and I was left feeling a bit ripped off.

It was not until I saw a copy of Dawn two months later that I decided to re-visit it. The rest is history. I instantly recognized what an apocalyptic story it was and viewed it continuously for days on end. My likening of Dawn grew to an obsession, which eventually led to the creation of this site in September 2000.
